Seminary Tuition Guarantee
Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary has initiated a guaranteed tuition plan which freezes a student's per-semester credit-hour tuition rate for on-campus classes in Cordova, Tennessee or Schenectady, New York for up to six consecutive semesters. To qualify, a student must be in good standing with the Seminary, making normal progress toward a master or associate degree, and enrolled at least twelve credit hours for both fall and spring semesters of each academic year in any of the Seminary's master or associate degree programs.  Should a student no longer qualify for the tuition guarantee, the tuition rate would immediately change to the prevailing tuition rate at the time.
 
Seminary Tuition Agreement and Management Program or STAMP has been changed to FACTS 
Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary payment policy states taht payment for the entire semester or mini-term is expected at the beginning of each respective semester or mini-term.  Regarding payments for semesters, if full payment cannot be made at the beginning, an option of budgeting monthly payments through FACTS Management Company is provided.  Students enrolled in any degree program for the Fall and/or Spring semesters, including Ph.D. students, are eligible for the FACTS program.  A modified plan is available for D.Min. students.  (See D.Min. Handbook for details.)  A $25.00 enrollment fee is due along with the first payment upon registration each semester.
 
FACTS electronically drafts the appropriate bank or credit/debit card account for payment on the 5th of each month.  Monthly payments may be made with check (ACH) or credit/debit card.  FACTS accepts MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards and bank debit cards.  We do not accept VISA credit/debit cards for online payments.  If you choose to pay your student account by debit or credit card, there is a 2.75% convenience fee for each payment.
